Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 22: Shooting

Just as Long Yuehong was about to read the information a few more times, the light in the room suddenly went out.

"It's time for the power outage?" Jiang Baimian rolled his wrist and looked at the electronic watch, and found that it was over eight forty.

She suddenly laughed:

"This is much more humane than the company."

Inside "Pangu Biology", it is said that the street lights are extinguished at 9 o'clock in the evening, and it will not be delayed until 9:01, which is like now, it has been over ten minutes.

"Does humanization mean looser management?" Bai Chen tried to understand the subtext of the team leader.

Jiang Baimian said with an "um":

"There are good and bad, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail."

"Said it means not saying it." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.

Then he added:

"I'm afraid Bai Chen is embarrassed to say that."

"Hey, it's kind of enthusiastic." Jiang Baimian has become accustomed to seeing the similar performance of Shang Jian Yao, only to give him a blank glance.

She immediately said:

"Take a rest. I'm busy from morning to night today, and I have to do business tomorrow."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong replied subconsciously.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled helplessly:

"It doesn't need to be so formal. Do you want the whole building to know that we are together and that there is a team leader?

"Haha, it's okay, just pay attention, different environments have different environmental requirements."

Fortunately, the power outage just now brought a lot of noise and noise, completely covering up the small movements here.

Following the previous arrangement, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered the room next to the courtyard.

In this way, what really happened. Bai Chen was able to take Long Yuehong into the yard for the first time and return to the jeep, while Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao both have different sensing abilities than ordinary people, which can be effective. Prevent accidents from the street.

"Are you sleeping on it, or am I sleeping on it?" After watching Bai Chen and Long Yuehong leave, Jiang Baimian pointed to the high and low beds in the room.

"You." Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and asked with a smile:

"Is it worried that getting up at night will affect me?"

"I ate a lot today." Shang Jian Yao said sincerely.

"That's OK." Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something, "Don't challenge the disease island tonight. Tomorrow you have to do business and recharge your energy."

"Good." Shang Jian Yao did not hesitate.

"You can still distinguish the priorities." Jiang Baimian exclaimed with a smile.

While speaking, she walked to the table by the window and looked outside.

The entire South Street and East Street are completely dark, and even the street lights no longer emit light.

Some places on West Street still have glowing light, like a beacon in the dark; North Street is brightly lit, as if the galaxy fell on the ground.

"It's really clear..." Jiang Baimian sighed, took off his jacket and climbed to the upper bunk.

Not long after she and Shang saw Yao had just lay down, they suddenly heard a few crisp shots.

This is from West Street.

After a few bangs, the night calmed down again, and the dynamic and enthusiastic music continued to be heard from West Street without any influence.

Hey, Shang Jianyao clapped abruptly.

"Why are you applauding?" Jiang Baimian asked, too lazy to guess what Shang Jian Yao wanted to express.

"They are really energetic." Shang Jianyao replied with a little yearning.

"Maybe this is the Weed City." Jiang Baimian closed his eyes and slowly cultivated his sleepiness.

Before long, there was a burst of noise at the gate not far from them, mixed with several gunshots.

"Why are people shooting here?" Long Yuehong, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, asked Bai Chen worriedly and curiously.

He chose the lower bunk because Bai Chen is good at sniping and can better monitor the movement in the yard at a higher place.

"Those wanderers who can't enter the city during the day want to break in at night." Bai Chen guessed based on his own knowledge and current environment, "Then the guard shot."

Long Yuehong's mood was quite complicated, not only pitying the wanderers who were waiting to die in the cold winter night, but also felt that the guards had opened fire and made no mistakes.

This reminded him of a sentence, the favorite sentence of those employees who have served in the Ministry of Security for a long time within "Pangu Bio":

"This **** world!"

When the movement at the city gate subsided, Long Yuehong quickly forced herself to sleep.

At this moment, he heard a huh huh from upstairs or upstairs.

And in other buildings, there was a similar movement, and if there seemed to be no ground, it echoed in the courtyard.

Long Yuehong is no stranger to this, after all, the soundproofing of ordinary employees of "Pangu Biology" is not so good.

This makes him a little blushing-what is different from the past is that there is a woman sleeping in his upper bunk.

After a while, the um ah ah ah ah ah's voices died down one after another, and Long Yuehong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But within a few minutes, the chanting sounded again.

Almost at the same time, sharp anger broke out:

"Fuck off!

"I just gave two steamed buns and want to come a second time? Shameless?"

Long Yuehong was a little stunned to hear it, and it took a long time to hesitate and ask:

"This, what's the situation?"

"Prostitute." Bai Chenyan replied concisely.

In the "Pangu Biology", this is a non-existent profession, Long Yuehong only knows what it means through textbooks and dictionaries.

"Ah this..." Long Yuehong was startled first, then defended herself, "I thought the people on the surface were busy living..."

"This in itself is a way of survival." Bai Chen said without the slightest contempt, "and the greater the pressure of survival, the more he will seek vent in this regard."

She paused and added two sentences:

"In Wild Grass City, there are too many outsiders and too many relic hunters. They wander on the dust all the year round and haven't touched a woman for weeks or even months.

"In this regard, female relic hunters are much better. As long as they are willing, there are candidates, and they may earn some supplies, but they must also consider whether they will be infected with diseases and whether they will become pregnant. For a female relic hunter, these belong to If you are not careful, you will ruin your own affairs."

Long Yuehong listened quietly and wanted to say something, but finally turned into a sigh.

The night was flowing at a constant speed between calm and unrest. When Long Yuehong woke up in the middle of the night, the whole city had fallen asleep completely at some point.

At 7:30, the sky was just getting light, the darkness was still the ruler of the earth, and the streets were already lively.

Many shops have opened their doors and started selling breakfast.

Among them, the most popular business is a few shops selling Wowotou, their characteristic is cheap enough.

Some stores even only sell charcoal-boiled hot water, 1 cass, 1 cup, specially prepared for hunters of relics who choke after eating wowotou.

-Tap water is also charged.

"Good job..." Shang Jian Yao Lian made an evaluation after eating two yellow wowotou.

This kind of waffle gets 5 cass for one, and 1 drasse for two.

Jiang Baimian, who was picking up the water bag, gave Shang Jianyao a glance:

"No one urges you, why do you eat so fast?"

"Re-experiencing the feeling of'hungry ghosts'." Shang Jian Yao Gulu drank the water and explained seriously.

"Do you want to say that you should adapt to this way of eating first, and when you encounter the purification method, you can get a few extra seconds after being caught in the'hungry ghost road'?" Jiang Baimian has a clear understanding. Asked back.

"Be prepared for nothing, more wins than less." Shang Jianyao nodded.

"...You are repeating it again!" Jiang Baimian felt that this was a bit familiar, and then he remembered that he had said it.

She turned to smile and said:

"Actually, isn't it better to prepare foods that are easy to swallow?"

"I can't predict when I will encounter the Jingfa." Shang Jianyao hung the water bag back to the armed belt.

"You can always put it on your body without eating." Jiang Baimian retorted, "But, you shouldn't be able to meet Master Jingfa in Yecao City. With so many women here, he can't control himself at all."

While talking, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walked along the road to the central square and targeted the Hunter's Guild.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong ate their breakfast slowly, not in a hurry to follow.

After walking for several tens of meters, Jiang Baimian saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed round hat hurried out of the alley.

Suddenly, she stretched out a hand to stop Shang Jianyao, and cast her gaze to the opposite building.

boom!

After a gunshot, the man in the wide-brimmed round hat just fell to the ground, splashing red and white.

The whole street instantly freezes and loses its voice.

After a few seconds, screams and shouts sounded one after another, one after another.

The Wild Grass City patrols with submachine guns rushed to the building where the bullet was shot.

They have stuck to the corresponding street to prevent themselves from being shot.

"Really professional..." Jiang Baimian commented very calmly.

She had just noticed that the gunman was on the roof of the building.

Shang Jian Yao sighed inexplicably:

"unfortunately……"

"What a pity?" Jiang Baimian asked with some confusion.

"Crossing another island should make him unable to pull the trigger." Shang Jianyao replied with regret.

Jiang Baimian looked at the width of South Street and the height of the building, and nodded slightly:

"If the gunman is on the fourth floor of these rows, it's not impossible."

The width of South Street is about five or six meters, and the three-story building is almost ten meters high. Counting the height of the window sill and applying the Pythagorean theorem, you can simply calculate that if the sniper is on the fourth floor and roughly parallel to the two, it will be Jian Yao's straight-line distance is between twelve and thirteen meters, which is just within the range of the awakened person's ability to "lack of hand movement".

On the fifth floor and the rooftop, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is beyond the boundary.

Before Shang saw Yao's response, Jiang Baimian smiled thoughtfully:

"I kind of ignored this ability before.

"In a city with many obstacles, in an environment dominated by street fighting, it should be more effective than I expected."

Especially in places where buildings like Weed City are generally not high.

"It's a pity..." Shang Jianyao sighed again.

"It's a pity that you don't have an enemy to let you try?" Jiang Baimian asked rhetorically with quite an understanding.

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao nodded honestly.

Jiang Baimian didn't say anything about him, but just reminded him in a serious manner:

"This is also suitable for most awakened people."

Here, the distance between people will be significantly compressed by buildings. </div>
